I don't want health care, I don't want health care insurance! I don't greed-mongering insurance companies between me and my doctor! If Wyden is another Daschle clone, I don't want him or anyone else negotiating a "health care insurance program for all!" The article says his former aide os now a health care lobbyist! WTF, for what corporations, interests? What did this aide do while working for Wyden in the Senate. More bribed democrats, doing the bidding of their puppet masters!

I want medical treatment when I need, or my when kids need it or anyone needs medical attention. I want a national single-payer system, PERIOD!

I want doctors and all medical practioners to be paid well. I want them to have the incentive to studdy in high school and all of the education so that the smartest, scientifically and reality-based people will provide the most effective medical treatment! Getting the insurance pigs out of the picture will provide the funds to pay for a well-funded national single-payer medical treatment plan.

Tell the insurance companies, their lobbyists and paid politicians in Congress or the Whitehouse to go away Now!

1. Wyden is one of the good guys and he wants healthcare reform. We want him in the Senate to help get

reform through.

5. He is one of the good guys, But I don't want "Health Care Reform"

I want the current system that is over 100 years old to be thrown out. It does not work. I want a new medical treatment plan. I don't want insurance companies ever again to tell a prenant woman who delivered a baby that she thought was covered by the Kaiser Plan that after the birth in their hospital that she must pay because they discovered she had a pre-existing condition. I don't want my son who was born with a genetic disease to be denied treatment when he will need it, or worse, not have any medical coverage when is old enough and can't get coverage under the current system.

If people want to pay high rates for medical insurance, I don't give a rat's ass. Let them pay!

But, the vast majority of Americans cannot afford medical coverage and with 30-40 million completely without medical insurance this is a road to ruin for them, their families and the nation!

No Health Care Reform! Anytime you hear a politician use the words "health care reform" or "insurance coverage for all" get rid of them - vote them out of office and replace them with courageous leader who will do what is best for the American people and not the corporate insurance and drug interests who have only profit in mind, not the care or proper medical care of people!

2. No. Don't take any more good Senators!

I'm sure we can find an excellent HHS Secretary (Dean) among the thousands of good democrats and progressives in this country (Dean). We need to retain our really good Senators because as we have seen, there is no guarantee that if he/she is taken out, he/she will be replaced with another good senator. (Dean)

Oh yeah, and DEAN for HHS Secretary.

3. Let's not create another empty Dem. US Senate seat. I'm for DR. KITZHABER, former OR Gov.

While governor, he created the Oregon Health Plan for very low-income folks .. it's still in place
and working well. He's a very smart and capable guy.

4. Some health care lobbyists are good guys.

There are lobbyists who work for non-profit foundations. There are lobbyists who try to talk state senators into putting more money aside for programs that help the poor receive better health care. There are lobbyists who try to reduce the costs of prescriptions. And so on and so forth.
